Using the RRC COM 2 Port, the set up wants to know the serial protocol, The stop bits, the data bits and the parity. I see someone asked that back in 2014 but can't seem to find the answer. Cannot find this info in the KAT500 manual.

I’m using a Lantronics EDS4100 to convert serial-to-ethernet at the shack to forward KAT500 serial data from the ham shack to my location.  I’m running Win10 Pro under Parallels on a Macbook Pro running the KAT500 utility software and Lantronics software to convert ethernet back to serial.  This allows the Elecraft KAT500 utility where I am to ’see’ the KAT500 at the shack.

My EDS4100 has Com9 configured for RS232, 34800 baud, None, 8,1, None.  The first “None” is for parity and the second “None” is for flow control.  As noted, it is 8-bit, 1 stop bit, and no parity.


Hope this helps,
